Stars, they’re just like us — especially when they can’t watch their shows while traveling.
Jessica Chastain found herself under fire from social media users after she publicly called out JetBlue because their inflight entertainment was down during a recent trip.
The “Help” star addressed the airline on X (formerly Twitter) in a series of tweets that have since been deleted after she was offered a $15 flight credit for the inconvenience.

Chastain included a screenshots of the company’s travel credit offer, which she claimed was only a fraction of the amount she coughed up for the flight.
“Thank you @JetBlue for your $15.00 credit. My flight was $1,500 and the credit is 1/100 of the money I paid you,” the actress posted on Wednesday.
“Strange that I paid that for your flight entertainment system that didn’t work for the duration of my 6hr flight, but I guess it was worth it for this $15 credit.”
“Thank you @JetBlue for your $15.00 credit. My flight was $1,500 and the credit is 1/100 of the money I paid you,” she posted along with a screenshot of their offer.
Chastain believed she was owed more after paying $1,500 for the flight.
The airline then informed her that everyone on the flight was offered the same $15 credit for the inflight entertainment outage.
“I understand but I spent $1500 on the flight and so did my husband,” she replied. “There should be some flight credit or something since I have a TrueBlue account and have been a loyal customer.”
X users quickly weighed in on the situation, with many cracking jokes about the Oscar winner’s wealth.
